my yahoo id got hacked recently when did not receive any link from the persons chatting. I just chatted with few people that night and evidently one of them hacked and changed my password. Luckily i could re-set my password later. but i am surprised how yahoo accounts get hacked by others who just knows your id. My earlier id got lost after being hacked.

Unfortunate. Another sharp reminder for all of us. That's why we've been discouraging users from sharing Ids with strangers.

Thanks for sharing bro. Whenever you see any personal info. being posted, kindly report it

What about the pop ups asking me whether I want to install OLX or Snadeal apps on my iPad? Are they safe or are they some malware? It is really annoying because it pops up on every page load and I have to dismiss it before I could navigate the page...

Bookseeker, in order to chat people on yahoo we will have to exchange our ids. I think it was a woman whom I msged that night and she refused to chat but I insisted.; But I am shocked by the ease how people can hack your password. They just need to know your id to hack it that's it. There must be some program they are using.

That's why never post it anywhere in the forum in public. If you know the person, then you can exchange your Ids through private message. But that is only if you know the person. When you give it to stranger you always compromise on your account security. Hackers create female Ids sometimes to lure users to give their Ids. On seeing a female Id, a lot of users jump into private chat invites by saying 'pm me ur Id' and end up becoming a victim

I can't stress this enough. Never share your Id with strangers or invite unknown people for private chats
